Students must take the collaboration studio class 3 times. These classes provide the opportunity for students to work in teams and to take on real-world challenges linked to community-based organizations and groups.

EXP 480

Students have the option of taking a Portfolio Workshop course focused on developing their professional identity, creating a portfolio, and preparing for their next career steps. This workshop course is optional and does not count toward the MA in Experience Design degree requirements.

EXP 450

Students in this degree program must meet the following requirements:

• Complete a minimum of 52 graduate credit hours in the designated program.
• Complete all graduate courses and requirements listed in the designated degree program.
• Earn a grade of C- or better in all graduate courses of the designated degree program.
• Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.
• Students pursuing a second (or more) graduate degree may not double count or retake any course that applied toward the completion of a prior graduate degree. If a required course in the second degree was already completed and applied toward a previous degree, the student must meet with a faculty advisor to discuss a new course to be completed and substituted in the new degree. This rule also applies to cross-listed courses, which are considered to be the same course but offered under different subjects.
• Students pursuing a second master's degree must complete a minimum of 52 graduate credit hours beyond their first designated degree program in addition to any required introductory courses in their second designated degree program.
  

Students with a GPA of 3.9 or higher will graduate with distinction.
